Message-ID: <20021229205933.GA6674@sharma-home.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4i Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm trying to debug a kernel problem with the RC1 install CD (I get a hang) - basically playing with various kernel options and putting debug printfs. pxeboot sounded like just the thing I needed - burning CDs or floppies being too cumbersome for me. I've followed the recipe and get to the point where control passed from pxeboot -> /boot/loader and /boot/kernel/kernel has been loaded. However, when I hit: OK boot -v / --> hang <-- The spinning slash stops spinning and the console hangs. I have a IBM Thinkpad T23. My question is, has anyone successfully used pxeboot on -current recently, especially on a thinkpad ? If yes, what could I be doing wrong ? Is this related to /boot/device.hints not being loaded ? -Arun To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
